If set, force the allocation to be placed in the mappable portion of
LMEM. One big restriction here is that system memory must be given as a
potential placement for the object, that way we can always spill the
object into system memory if we can't make space.
XXX: Still needs IGTs. Including now just for the sake of having more
complete picture.
